Creating more sustainable products, through using more sustainable materials and intermediate processing techniques.

Due to the high percentage of sustainable materials used, a score of 4% was achieved at level 3.

Manufacturing

Managing and monitoring manufacturing impacts (chemicals, energy, water and waste).

Haikure has identified its denim laundries as its most impactful supplier and tracks its suppliers more sustainable manufacturing processes. Haikure is yet to quantitatively measure its suppliers’ impacts, leading to a score of 44% at level 1. Haikure has demonstrated some activities beyond level 1, including communicating Environmental Management System requirement to its suppliers and tracking suppliers’ certification standards. However, Haikure is yet to systemically implement these measures, extend it activities to setting targets or to implement environmental improvement projects, leading to a score of 9% a level 2 and 8% at level 3. This overall represents a drop-in score compared to last year.

People

Managing labour standards and human rights in the supply chain.

Haikure continues to source 100% of their collection from a single SA8000 certified factory in Italy. As such Haikure has covered foundational compliance with the ILO Core Conventions, this is reflected in a level 1 score of 81%. Haikure receives an annual SA8000 certification report for its direct supplier in Italy enabling it to monitor and manage labour standards compliance. Haikure is yet to demonstrate how labour standards and human rights are fostered within indirect suppliers, resulting in a level 2 score of 60%. The SA8000 certification covers some best practices, however, there is room for Haikure to engage beyond its direct supplier and mitigate risks across its supply chain, resulting in a score of 40% for level 3.
